Boy's kilt - wherefrom?

**Rab Gordon** · 3rd April 06, 06:51 AM

My wee boy is now almost 9 months if anyone comes across any deals or hand me downs.

Maybe I'll make him a Sgian Dubh with a rattle on it

At least it's closer to you than the Americas. Don't know if it alters the price too much tho.

I was going to order a kid's kilt from www.kiltstore.net

They had a kilt for my 5 year olf son for $45 cdn and in a family tartan. The only reason I am debating it now, is that before kiltstore used to offer free shipping for orders over $50, not that has been raised to $200. When I asked them about it, the response I got was a list of other products I could order to put my bill over $200. Thanks, but I was capable of doing that myself!!!! Morons.....

$21 shipping (that's post) on a $45 item doesn't work for me.

Thanks for link - but £174.47 !?!?

Probably a superb kilt, but price-wise a little over the top for a 6-year old who'll out-grow in no time.

Keep those ideas coming - all advice is sought and appreciated

Of course you may well have already looked at these but just in case.

Remember, boys' kilts come with hems in them, so you can let them out as the lads grow. My 9yo has had his kilt for almost 3 years now, & there's still plenty of growth room in it, both in the waist & the length.

I cannot help you with makers though, as I won his from a Scottish seller on Ebay. It was Providence, really, that I got it & a jacket for less than 90USD, and in the very tartan I wanted.

I would not mind ordering him a trad kilt from a maker though, considering how many years wear he is getting out of this one.

Amoritize it!

Thanks for all in-put. We have discussed the matter at home, and have opted for a reasonable ebay kilt - as we don't know wether the wee lad will change his mind about wearing a kilt when the day of reckoning comes...

RockyR: thanks, I'll get back to you

I'll let you know when kilt arrives and pictures are taken...

PS
The lad has his eyes on a Royal Stewart...

I think SportKilt has kids kilts too...basic, but washable...

I was thinking about getting my nephew a sportskilt one. Washable is good, and it doesnt have to look as real as some of us would prefer lol.
I like the cheap and not worry about them destroying it idea and am keeping it in mind for when we have kids (when Im in my career a bit more and hes gone back to school)
